The headline on Robert Parry’s article is How the US Press Corps Lost Its Way.

Given the media’s eulogies for David Broder, I think it appropriate to emphasize what Parry had to say about him.  That is why I used the headline, How David Broder Lost His Way.

My editing of the subtitle of the article is “The eulogies for Washington Post columnist David Broder: an unintended commentary on what went wrong with the U.S. news media.”

The beginning of Parry’s indictment of Broder is:

Broder personified the cult of centrism, a faith in “The System” that ignored how hollowed out its institutions had become, at least in terms of any moral or democratic values.

For many years, I have been unable to stand listening to or reading columns of David Broder.  Robert Parry’s article is a good explanation of why I have felt this way.
